Something to Read"

Every season has its special en-
ploymcnis and pleasures. During
winter, however, IL Is sometimes II Sc
rious question TO determine what is
to be done with the long evenings,
when II is more comfortable to be In
doors. At every iireside there ought
to be provided some means for inter-
estlng and profitable employment,
There is no better plan by which 10
gain this end than by being provided
with good reading matter. Good books
are mans best friend, always near
and full Of Interesting companiOnship
suited to his every mood and condi-
ton. No matter how Far he may be
removed from human sympathy and
companionship, if he has the right
books at hand, he has success to the
company of the best and noblest of
earth in the thoughts they have given
the world. Every one ought TO have
a course of reading mapped ont aud
read every day. 10 read promiscu-
ously any thing aud every thing that
comes In ones way Is not the best
plan. To profit by reading one must
read the best and read it every day.
No matter how busy he may be lie
can always find Il few minutes each
day for reading, which is so much
gained in furnishing wholesome food
for thought wien engaged in manual
labor. Books are 50 plentiful and
cheap that there can be no excuse for
not having them in every home.

"Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle" fills this need exactly. 1t is
designed to give the reader an equiv
alent in English for regular college
course. Those who have never been

wants. 1t includes history, literature,
science aud language. Extra courses
are also provided for those who desire
a special line of study. Thousands of
persons all over the land are now
reading this course, and all have
found it full of blessing and pleasure.
1t is especially adapted 10 those who
are busiy engaged in other than lit
erary pursuits. IIousekeepers, farm
ers, mechanics, clerks, merchants, per-
SONS in every avocation can find plen-
ty of time to take this spare. minute
course. Little things make the ag-
gregate of all liie's work. A few
minutes each day given to careful,
judiciouS reading will greatly enrich
the whole life. No man or woman,
not even the busiest, can plead Il
want Of time. 1t is arranged special
ly for busy people. Those whose
work confines them to a monotonous
routine will find rest and comfort in

spent waiting for meals, or in the
evening when the days work is end
Ed, can be used with great profit.
